“Amazing venue, Great beers and pizza! A must do if you are in the area!“

“First time going here and it will not be the last. Got the first timer and it was awesome, half crispy potato and half pepperoni garlic. Highly recommend dipping in the spicy ranch. The dessert was great too. They are also a bakery, and with the quality of the cookies and cannoli cake - you could tell. 10/10 food and service“

Cheese to toppings ratio was on point! The mozzarella cheese sticks were also very good! And to top it all off, the customer service was 💯!! Highly recommend!!“

“Authentic crispy tavern style pizza. Delicious toppings, sauce and the right amount of heat for the Calabrian pizza. Hard to find good pizza in California and being originally from Chicago, we loved it!

Great service and the owners (Pat and Jim) were not only friendly but went above and beyond to make us feel “like family”. Super experience and we can’t wait to return and try more items from the menu.“

“We attended a private Mob Wives themed event at The Parlor Woodfire Kitchen & Cocktails and it was a fantastic experience. The team handled all the food accommodations and offered a great variety of delicious dishes.

The speakeasy was transformed into an Italian mob wives dinner and the attention to detail was amazing. The staff was attentive, the service was on point, and we felt so well taken care of all night.

Big shoutout to Joe for helping create such a fun and memorable event! Highly recommend.“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Sal’s is a class A establishment. I messed up my order (grandma pie with breadcrumb and onion + sausage pinwheel and cannoli + black and white cookies) I ordered for pick up when it should have been delivery. The owner delivered the order himself. The grandma pie was on point and the sausage pinwheel was right! Waiting to taste the desert but im sure it will be great. Thank you Sal’s“

“Straight up awesome pizza here at Lunita's. It's almost like a pizza speakeasy inside of a Mexican restaurant. You have to text ahead your order, bring cash for a discount! We got two pizzas, the Margherita and Capistrano. Both pizzas were awesome, but the Capistrano really was the star. The crust is top notch, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I would say this spot is a top 5 pizza joint in OC for sure, it is similar style pizza to Gibroni's. Definitely give this one a try!“

“Adamantium Steel Band!! Great Music!!🎉🎉🎉“

“First time ordering from Porky's Pizza. And...Wow!! Excellent!! One of the very best pizzas we've had in Orange County since moving from New York! Crust is fabulous and pizza topping outstanding! Will be ordering many more pizzas from Porky's. Would highly recommend.Also, very clean and friendly service. Five-plus stars for sure!!!“

“So, my partner and I have a couple of pizza spots we like to hit up, while in the area. The other popular one told us it was a 45-minute wait, while this spot was a much quicker 20 minute wait, big plus there! The customer service was solid; everyone was friendly and chill.
We were really craving New York-style pizza, but honestly, this place was okay, good not terrible but also not quite NY style. The wings, on the other hand, were a highlight: big, juicy, and the sauce was spicy enough to kick it up a notch. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the wings they did the job and then some. The pizza was decent, but the wings really stole the show for me.“

“This is great little center. The beer and liquor store on the corner is great. The owners are wonderful people. The sushi place is shockingly good and the auto repair centers and smog centers are quite good as well. It has a lot more than most people realize. I highly recommend checking it out.“

“Hands down one of the best pizza locations in Orange County. I have tried pizza everywhere, but nothing beats the freshness and ingredients that are used here in Bella Roma. You can tell that the owner carefully sources all of his ingredients and products to give us the best tasting pizzas, salads, and pastas! Thank you Bella Roma, I will be coming more frequently.

“Good zaaa! I was hungry and in the neighborhood so I checked it out. Got to know Nicole the manager she was super bomb bomb bomb and told me where to go so I got it. Thanks again Tulik’s Floor Coverings.“

“The breakfast at Z pizza is surprising great. The food is very healthy, presented beautifully. It’s a unique experience. And the coffee is very good“

“Well, this pizza was definitely filling well I’ve been lucky enough to try a new place actually in some cases two new places a day but I found this place really nice. I enjoyed sitting in the 50s style diner seating area.

The pizza was fresh filling and I had to tell you, they have the best cheese I’ve ever tasted in my life but if you want a pizza that fills you up go for the small, which is eight slices but I’m telling you right now if you get the large, be sure to bring three extra people because they will fill you up they offer sandwiches here. One of these is the Italian sausage and cheese. They will bring it out to your table.

You can enjoy sports or any program on the TV and I’m gonna tell you the build your own menu is really amazing but I had to have a pepperoni and sausage…

When you get here stop and check out the sign there are three lunch specials supposed daily and they’re delicious.!“

“Clean and fast with plenty of out door seating. By from some of the best pizza I’ve had. If we’re ever in Laguna again I’ll be sure to stop!“

“We want to thank CPK for honoring Veterans today. They gave a delicious complementary supper tonight with a nice menu. The food was delicious. The staff was excellent. Service was fast. Manager thanked the veterans and gave us a handshake and a flag. He even had a table set for the missing soldiers , sailors, and Marines. Happy that everyone in restaurant was having a great time. Staff was all friendly and excellent. We eat here about ever other month. Very affordable, great pizzas and pastas“

“Excellent service. Great pizza and pasta.“

“This restaurant has quickly become one of my top picks! The food is exceptional—each dish is crafted with high-quality ingredients and bursting with flavor. Their drink menu is equally impressive, offering a delightful selection at reasonable prices.​ The staff and new owner are warm and attentive, always ready to offer recommendations and ensure a pleasant dining experience. Adding to the charm, they feature live music that perfectly complements the atmosphere—ideal for both lively dancing and relaxed listening.​ Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a special celebration, this place is a must-visit.“

“Ever since I brought my dad for a quick bite for lunch we dropped in at Pizza Amore because we were shopping next door at Stater Brothers let me tell you my dad is very picky he doesn't eat anything else but his simple main course of Persian food once he tried this pizza and catch you not you fell in love like a little kid at the candy store so have I because you are Beyond Reckoning The Best of the Best I'm telling you you got to get your pizza here if you haven't yet you're missing out you guys are cool as heck down to earth and make you feel like family that's what a good pizza store is all about chill mellow atmosphere very welcoming in the pizzas are off the hook so I can give it more than five stars I would“

“Visited the El Segundo store. Outstanding pizza. As good as the best pizza I’ve had in NYC. (I’ve had a lot of NYC Pizza) Staff are really friendly and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is happy. Highly recommend.“

“Guys, I dunno what to tell ya... even when they are having a bad or off day, this place is still the spot to go. They never disappoint. 6 of us went in last night around 7:00 PM and it appeared there was only one person serving the floor and one bartender serving the bar area. Our server, Leslie C, did not make it even seem that way. She took great care of us and was keeping us informed along the way as well. I have a lot of health concerns and they were very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind about it. More servers like her. She deserves a raise, y'all!“

“Pizza is Great! Loved the fast Service.“

“Went in with 12 kiddos from the nearby elementary school. I was greeted and helped by Dennis initially and could not have been treated any better. He was very accommodating and helpful with ordering. K assisted next and got all the food ready in great time. Highly recommend! This team made the party happen! Very thankful for their help.“

“I was originally planning to leave a 3.5 or 4-star review for Blaze Pizza, but something happened that encouraged me to change it to 5 stars. The quality of the pizzas was good for the price, although a part of the crust was slightly overcooked, and a bit more attention during baking would have helped. Still, overall, I’d say the quality was solid considering the price point.

In my order, I had included a Caesar salad, which I realized was missing when I got home. I called the restaurant to let them know, and after checking my email later, I saw they had refunded part of the cost. This level of customer service truly impressed me and convinced me to add that extra star.“

“Great place. Love the Beatles atmosphere. Great music playing.“

“They have wristband tech. for wine/beer.“

“Always a great time at Santora’s!!! Fantastic bartenders and friendly customers!!! Perfect place to catch the game!👍👍“

“I just picked up my curbside groceries. The lettuce and spinach was fresh and beautiful. My peppers, tomatoes etc looked fresher than the market. I bought flour and yeast which is so difficult to find and eggs and milk. I will definitely order again. I would very highly recommend them. Thank you for providing this service!“

“Great food! Great service! Awesome people! Love it!“

“Best pizza I’ve had since moving to CA from NY. Amazing food, great atmosphere and impeccable service. My go to place!“

“Valentine's Day at Buona Forchetta - San Clemente never disappoints. The ambiance is warm, the service is attentive, and the food is consistently excellent. I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese and my husband had the Cacio e Pepe with burrata. The lasagna was rich, hearty, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Each bite felt like comfort on a plate. The Cacio e Pepe was creamy, perfectly balanced, and the burrata elevated it beautifully. Buona Forchetta always delivers a memorable dining experience.“

“This is probably one of the best pizza places in SoCal, specifically San Clemente. If you're in the area, you're missing out if you're not going to enjoy their pizza and the staff is amazing. Appreciate everybody that helped us.“

“Delicious Chicago style and thin crust pizza. Their chicken wings were great too! They even had live entertainment outside. I will definitely come back again.“

“everything we ordered was good.. I recommend the bbq rib tips (honey bbq).“
